  Verse 1

  The rain comes down soft on the glass tonight And the streetlights blur into circles of gold light While the whole world outside turns quiet and slow You are warm here with nothing to put you to flight

  Chorus

  Elena, the night is a blanket for you Every drop on the window is singing it true Nothing can reach you, nothing gets in Sleep now, Elena, the way that you do

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the wind is turning the leaves around But under this roof there's hardly a sound Just breathing and warmth and the hush of the rain And you, wrapped up soft where the quiet is found

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hours grow long Let the rain on the window hum you its song And I will be here while the dark carries on

  Chorus

  Elena, the night is a blanket for you Every drop on the window is singing it true Nothing can reach you, nothing gets in Sleep now, Elena, the way that you do

  Bridge

  However far the thunder rolls, you are held tight However loud the world gets, you are held right Nothing out there is stronger than this quiet light

  Chorus

  Elena, the night is a blanket for you Every drop on the window is singing it true Nothing can reach you, nothing gets in Sleep now, Elena, the way that you do

  Outro

  The rain will keep falling soft on the glass And you will sleep on while the quiet hours pass

  Verse 1

  An owl slips past the glass where the small curtain sways and the dark of the window softens into greys nothing out there means you any kind of harm you are folded up close and you are kept so warm

  Pre-chorus

  The hush is coming down now like a hand upon your hair every small sound in the house is turning into care so let your breathing follow mine and drift you past the stair

  Chorus

  Elena, the night has you and holds you like its own Elena, you were never meant to feel alone close your eyes, Elena, let the dark be soft and slow the whole wide house is breathing low to keep you low

  Verse 2

  The owl will turn its shadow and be gone before you wake leaving only quiet for your small heart to take nothing at the window comes to call you from your rest you are the softest thing this whole dark house has ever pressed

  Chorus

  Elena, the night has you and holds you like its own Elena, you were never meant to feel alone close your eyes, Elena, let the dark be soft and slow the whole wide house is breathing low to keep you low

  Bridge

  Sleep is only love wearing its quietest coat stitched from every warm thing that ever kept you close

  Chorus

  Elena, the night has you and holds you like its own Elena, you were never meant to feel alone close your eyes, Elena, let the dark be soft and slow the whole wide house is breathing low to keep you low

  Outro

  Somewhere past the curtain the owl has found its rest and you are held here softer, the safest, warmest nest
